We’ve picked our favourite party shoes you can dance in, without missing a beat on the dance floor!

If your outfit is a smart dress or trousers, we recommend wearing heels to lengthen legs and make you walk taller. However, if you’ve chosen a stylish maxi dress, flats are the perfect option. Not only will you manage the whole day without having to switch shoes, you’ll be blister free and ready to dance the night away!

If you’ve chosen a colour that’s hard to match up, nude heels are a great option. Not only do they pair perfectly with everything, they have some serious leg-lengthening benefits. The colour blends in with your foot more than the average pair, leaving ankles looking slimmer, giving your pins an extra boost and allowing you to go for a lower, more comfortable heel.
